this is very very cool. Any plans of making this for the js ecosystem ? Unfortunately not all of us are on ruby...but everyone is on js. Would totally love something like this on React/Next.
This is such an interesting statement.
is there anything like Avo out there? This is great work but I'm not a Ruby/RoR dev
There are a few free packages (Active Admin, administrate, rails admin) built a few years ago that can help you build a CRUD UI, but the conversations I had with developers is that they are a bit annoyed with them. I built Avo as a modern alternative learning from the past products and improving on them.
Pricing is unclear. It has a fixed price and later talks about subscription. How much is the subscription. Also at what is the frameworks strategie on locking doing transactions in the database.
The pricing is per project (per app). You pay $250, and you get one year of updates and then use it forever.
The license is a Perpetual Fallback License. When you stop paying for a subscription, you will still be able to keep and use the latest version of Avo at the point in time when the subscription ended but you will loose the ability to update to a newer version.
Regarding locking and doing transactions, it does not support that, but that's a very good idea and not that difficult to add in the near-future. Ideally to let the developer specify what kind of locking strategies to use.
I added this topic to keep track of. https://github.com/avo-hq/avo/discussions/982
I appreciate Bullet Train’s opinionated idea that APIs and webhooks should be part of any project and they have built it in. Anyhow, it’s worth checking out, in addition to Avo.
This is great. We definitely need more tools/frameworks like this to allow for faster development. It reminds me of Bullettrain: https://bullettrain.co/
Looking into it a bit more, it seems more aimed at building admin panels than whole apps. I guess it competes against tools like https://activeadmin.info/?
I am excited to see more of these Frameworks on top of Frameworks happening. Folks interested in this may also want to check out Bullet Train [0]. They are also a Rails Framework/Framework. I believe they started out with a pricing model that was more expensive than this but have pivoted to open source. I appreciate Bullet Train’s opinionated idea that APIs and webhooks should be part of any project and they have bui…
As far as I know, they have some things as open source and some not. Not sure if they published the pricing for the subscription packages though. A lot of people are wondering what that's going to cost.
I used Avo with Jumpstart and they go together wonderfull. Probably with bullettrain too.
Very neat! My first thought was that this was a competitor to https://bullettrain.co/ . Looking into it a bit more, it seems more aimed at building admin panels than whole apps. I guess it competes against tools like https://activeadmin.info/ ?
Avo is not meant to be an "obscure admin panel" where only the core team members go to do some CRUD operations. It's meant to be the interface on which you build your back-office. Something that you'd love to give to your users from day one. Something that will make you, the developer, look like a superhero, all with little to no sweat.
